Trunk Lid Does Not Close Using Remote Trunk Closing
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles that the trunk lid does not close using the remote trunk closing feature, this may be caused by
the ball stud attaching the hydraulic cylinder of the remote trunk closing mechanism being torn out of the mounting console. (Figure 1). To resolve,
install a new thicker mounting console (A221 630 06 36) as outlined in the below procedure.
1. Remove the trunk lining trim on the right side only reference WIS document AR68.30-P-4600SX.
2. Cover electronics on the right side of the trunk with suitable cover to prevent metal shaving from the drilling process from entering electronic
components.
3. Mark all of the edges of the console mount with a black marker or suitable marking devise.
